TUTUP AJAM PIE

Coincidentally today I saw this recipe on tv, all the ingredients that I like were used. And it was surprisingly a very tasty pie, its a nice mixture of Dutch and Indonesian food.

Talented cook Francis Kuijk said that the Indonesian word tutup means 'close it'. The puree seals the pie, so that all flavors blend very good.

I started immediately to make this dish,,,because I had chicken fillet with mashed potatoes with green beans. So if you have any leftovers you can make this "stack" dish easily. I have added a few ingredients to my own taste (such as ketjap , ginger, parsley and sambal).

INGREDIENTS:

MASHED POTATOES:

500 grams potatoes

6 cloves of garlic

1 stock cube

50 grams grated cheese

butter

100 ml  warm milk

Nutmeg, pepper, salt, chili

FILLING:

1 winter carrot

100 grams of green beans

50 grams of soe-oen (glass vermicelli)

1 onion

2 cloves of garlic

Pinch of ginger

Parsley

150 grams chicken breast fillet

100 grams mushrooms

75 milliliters hot water

1 stock cube
Parsley

Pinch of nutmeg

1 teaspoon of sugar

pepper and salt, chili

soy sauce

sambal

sunflower oil

1 egg mixed with some salt and water (for topping)

3 eggs (for intermediate layer) boiled and cut into slices

Peel and cut the potatoes. Peel the garlic cloves. Boil the potatoes and the garlic and a stock cube until they are tender.

Mash to puree with cheese, butter, milk and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.

Put the soe-oen in a bowl and pour boiling water over it. Allow to heat for approximately 3 minutes. Drain and cut the strings shorter with scissors or knife.

Peel the carrot and cut into cubes. Cut the green beans into pieces. Cook the carrot and green beans for a few minutes, drain and rinse cold. 

Peel and chop the onion and garlic, fry 2 minutes in a wok with some oil.

Cut the chicken into cubes and add this too. Cut the mushrooms, Stir fry a few minutes. 
Pour water with crumbled stock cube Season with nutmeg, sugar, salt, pepper, chili,  sambal and soy sauce. Add the vegetables and soe-oen and cook a few minutes. (Mixture must not be too moist)

Grease the baking dish and divide the chicken-vegetable mixture over the dish. Divide the egg slices on this top. Then divide the puree on top of the eggs. 
Cover with beaten egg.

Bake the pie about 25 minutes at 200 degrees C until golden brown and done.

Selamat makan!
